Box of Bread & Poetry

$25.00

Poetry, like bread, is both simple and complex…and it nourishes our sense of humanity.

In this box, I tuck a poem selected from my afternoons under a stack of books. With it, you get two different loaves of bread from whatever I’m baking this week. My hope is that you will take a pause, make some tea & toast, and sit down to reflect on the grandeur of your quotidian life.

This box makes a wonderful gift and although I choose a new poem each week, I can always work with you to find an apt poem for your gift recipient.

Description

Each week I set aside a few loaves of bread to package and send.
In my kitchen, I choose not to use all-purpose flour, but instead work with responsible millers to find the most flavorful fresh whole flours or high-extraction sifted flours that retain nourishment. I also often get grains from farmers and mill them myself, seeking out stewards of the land who share my values. I find it exciting to locate some of the modern landraces being developed by progressive breeders, as well as heritage grains that intrepid farmers are trying their weatherworn hands at saving from extinction. My bread is always naturally leavened unless otherwise noted in rare cases. Each loaf takes between 24 and 48 hours to make, which has become a meditative act for me that I’m grateful to share.
I send each loaf fresh out of the oven, with just enough time to cool and package. It usually arrives to you two days later.
